BP boyfriend broke up with me...

My boyfriend of a year broke up with me a couple days ago. He told me that he couldn't see us lasting. And that I was "the cause of all of his stress." he has broken up with me before, but always returned or changed his mind really shortly after. Like during the same day. However this time he claims that he is never coming back. He was recently diagnosed as bipolar, and I have been the only one in his life to truly try to help him and be there for him, forgiving him and being there through everything. Now that he has broken up with me, I have found out that he has decided to start talking to a girl I used to be best friends with (who he knows I do not like.) she is totally not his type, and they have never even met before. Why is he doing this?! And do you think he will come back? It's so hard to Be with him but I just really love him. I haven't spoken to him for a few days and I just don't know what to do. My heart is so torn.

I know what you are going through....I have been in love with a man for two years. Hes not been diagnosed with BP but he has every symptom, everything I read about their behaviors and symptoms is him to a T. He just broke up with me on Sunday. I havent heard from him since. Since we really became serious almost a year ago, he breaks up with me once a month. Every month. Says horrible things to me, puts me down, runs me down, says anything he knows will hurt me....But when he snaps out of it, usually about 5 days later he will text me saying he misses me and we start the cycle all over again, we are back in love...Im really trying to understand his mind and this illness....have you heard from your guy yet?
